The condo itself was in pretty good condition and the decor was beach themed which was cute. There was normal wear and tear that you would expect from a rental property (stains on the sofas), but the floors were a different story. I am not sure if this falls on the cleaning crew or not, but literally my 2 year old's feet were black after walking around on the floors for only an hour or so. I'm not sure if it was from the tile floor or the carpet. The carpet probably should be replaced or steam cleaned because there are several large black areas/stains. So bring flip flops to wear inside :-) Other than those small things, the rental was exactly what we expected.
The view was nice and you face the inside of the property which is beautifully landscaped. Another plus is that there is a fountain right outside the unit so you can sit and listen to it on your balcony which I found very relaxing. A huge plus for us is the location/distance to the beach. With two small children in tow we require a lot of extra equipment so the fact that this was right off the beach was a HUGE benefit. There is a great resort style pool (5 ft in the middle and 3 ft in the shallow ends (one at each end of the pool). Another huge plus for us was the stairs leading into the pool. They are the full width of the pool which means extra "play space" for our 2 year old. There is also a circular kiddie pool (no fountains or features) which is 1 foot deep. Although the pool didn't have any features (mushroom, fountain, etc.) our son was perfectly happy just playing in it with his pool toys.
My husband and I used both the fitness center & the business center (complimentary for guest) which was a nice perk.
The property is about 1.5 miles (about a 4 minute drive, 20 minute walk) to the St. Simons Pier Village. This is where you want to be. There is a great kids zone at Neptune Park that has a HUGE playground, Putt-Putt ($7/person, Under 3 Free), and a really nice Water Park ($7/person, Under 3 Free). Great place to spend an entire day or a half day. The Beach Club is also only about 10 minutes to Redfern Village which is home to some really great restaurants (including Gnat's landing). Within walking distance (5 minute walk) is Crabdaddy's, The Crab Trap, Beachcombers, and Boulevard Cafe (known for their breakfast & bakery).
So overall this was a great trip and I would happily book with this rental property again.
